The video, The original Cosmopolitan story - by Cointreau staring Dita Von Teese was styled by Trish Summerville. She contacted us for the custom made-to-measure cone bra all-in-one corset pictured above.

Dita von Teese is the renowned queen of burlesque. Period Corsets® was thrilled to make Ms. Teese’s under- undergarment; the white satin cone bra she strips down to in her new video.

This lecture is part of the exhibit “Road to Equality: The Struggle for Women’s Rights in the Northwest” which runs through December 2011.

See below for examples of Period Corsets® corsets from the era's c. 1750 and c. 1950. Our corsets are used by theatres, operas, universities and colleges, historic re-enactors--anyone and everyone who is interested in recreating a particular historical era.
